between Kowloong and Hong Kong, should the necessities of any Case require it.

Tang Yuk expressed his pleasure at this arrangement being authorized as he would then be able to visit Hong Kong on the same footing as his family. Still he said that he had no intention to do so yet. He was not aware of this permission from home.

He thought that the Viceroy would be much obliged if I would translate the despatch in question, and for his protection. I promised to let the Governor know of his wish in the matter, and give him a copy to hold.

The conversation dropped.

It is clear from this, that up to this time the tenor of J.O.'s letter of 30th May 1869 has not yet been communicated to the Viceroy. Tang Yuk is, I am well informed, a very confidential adviser of the Viceroy. He is a personal friend of that High Officer, and it is most important to the interests of this Colony that we should have such an Official at Kowloong, who is now so well affected towards this Government, and who should be made aware of the high appreciation in which he is held by us for the ready assistance willingly offered in all matters.
